Trying to select multiple photos to move to folder within Dropbox (using ios app)
In the ios app on either the iphone or the ipad, at the bottom there is a row : Recents, Files, +, Photos, Offline. I select "photos". How do I select multiple photos there to move to a folder I...
Hey there,
The Photos tab on the app is only for sharing with other users and not to move files, since photos there could be from any location in your Dropbox account.
However, there is a small workaround in the Files tab which might assist you.
- Tap 'Files'
- Tap the Sort button on top left and choose Sort by Date
- Tap the list icon on top right to view the images much easier by choosing the grid option
- Navigate to your Camera Upload folder (or wherever your photos are stored)
- Tap the ellipsis (...) on the top right and choose Select.
- Select multiple photos and you have the move option there on the bottom right.
If your photos are spread out over different folders, there's no easy way to view them all and move them like above, but if they are all stored in Camera Uploads, this should help you out greatly.
Hope this helps!
